Low earnings quality/earnings smoothing

CFA Level I
#1

A high-quality financial report may reflect:

  1. A.earnings smoothing.
  2. B.low earnings quality.
  3. C.understatement of asset impairment.

Why is B correct? Shouldn’t it be A? I mean if we are dealing with a high-quality report, management probably has smoothed the earnings or?
